Bicycle Saddles Examined and Explained

Brooks B66 S Saddle

The Brooks B66 S saddle is the ladies version of the popular sprung model that has been available from the company since as far back as 1927. It is a saddle that has been designed to distribute the weight of the rider over a larger area and this is why the saddle is wider than other saddles. It is also designed for the recreational rider and that is why the springs have been used to provide the necessary comfort and support.

The B66 S features distinctive coiled springs underneath. The design aims to cater for the cyclist who is merely looking to ride their bike at a gentle, more relaxed pace. This is why the saddle is one of the integral members of the company’s City and Heavy Duty line of saddles. You will note from the weight of the saddle that this is not the type of saddle where you are going to stress too much about carrying an extra gram or two.

As with all Brooks leather saddles there will be a breaking in period for the first few times you use your new saddle. This will allow the leather of the saddle to soften and become shaped to the contours of your butt. You can speed this process along by using “Proofide” cream on the leather to assist with the softening process.

The saddle is available in a choice of two colors: black, brown or honey.

The B66 and B66 S are among BROOKS’s most loved products, having been on the market since 1927. Classically sprung with double rails for supreme comfort, B66 and B66 S are the ideal all-rounders for daily city or touring use in a rather upright posture. They are most appropriate for cyclists who set their handlebars higher than their saddles. In general, the more upright your riding posture, the wider, and more heavily sprung, the saddle you should choose.
